 We recommend installing an IRC client:
-1. Connect it to `chat.freenode.net:6697`

-Yes. Like many other communities, we are planning to move from [freenode](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freenode) to [libera.chat](https://libera.chat/) in the wake of Andrew Lee's hostile takeover. But we're waiting for things to settle on libera before making the move official and deprecating the old channel on freenode (aka free*****nope*****)

-# Why was I banned from #feminism?
-
-Our channel is named ##feminism - note the two hash characters. We do not control #feminism. The operators of #feminism quit irc years ago, and banned everybody from their channel, including us. Ideally we'd like it to redirect to ##feminism, but freenode won't transfer ownership because of [channel naming rules](https://freenode.net/policies).

 # Why did [xyz] get banned?
 
 Our channel is regularly targeted by abusive and persistent trolls. IRC only allows a limited number of channel bans, so our bot has to rotate them. This means many previous trolls are able to join for a few seconds before being re-banned. Please trust that there's a good reason. Moderating this channel is already emotionally exhausting enough without having to rehash everything on demand, especially to newcomers.
